A very common South American epiphite, the annual flowering Flaming Torch, sometimes referred to as Florida's "hurricane bromeliad", signals our peak storm season. Deep green leaves of this bromeliad have a sharp toothed edge, with a rosette pattern that forms a water-cup - a happy home for tons of mosquito larvae and the occasional frog. The noted flowering inflorescene is torch-like with little to no scent. Overall, an intense reminder for all to be aware.
